Romney puts 'doing fine' on TV

The Romney campaign released a new TV ad this morning -- its first straight-up attack ad of the general election, highlighting President Obama's gaffe about the private sector "doing fine."

We posted Friday on the Republican National Committee attacking Obama's comment with a video that closely mirrored Obama's 2008 ad blasting John McCain for saying after Lehman collapsed that the "fundamentals" of the U.S. economy were strong.

The Romney video uses the same conceit and closes with the same line, echoing Obama's '08 spot: "The private sector is doing fine? How can President Obama fix our economy if he doesn't understand it's broken?"
